A New Treaty.

A letter is published from Secretary
Bayard To Minister Phelps. inclosing q
draft of a proposed treaty between the
United States and Canada on the fisheries
controversy. The treaty calls for the APP
pointment Of mixed commission to agree
upon the limits which shall separate the
exclusive from the common right of fish
ing off the coasts of the British North
American colonies; to agree upon regula-
tons to secure the fishermen of the United
States the privilege of entering bays and
harbOrs for the purpose of shelter, repair
and purchase of wood and water: and to
agree upon penalties for the violation of
such privileges.
Pending a definite arrangement Great
Britain agrees TO instruct Canadian Of
fcials not to modest fishing vessels of the
United States, unless they are found ac-
tually fishing within three miles of the
coast. Both governments agree to send to
the gulf of st. Lawrence national yes
sci and also one each to cruise during the
fishing season on the southern coasts of
Nova Scotia.
When a vessel is seized for the violation
Of these provisions, the matter shall he re-
ported to the officer in command of one Of
these national vessels, who i'm conjunction
with the commander of another of said
vessels shall constitute court of inquiry.
If both are of the opinion that the seizure
was not for good cause the vessel shall be
released; and In the event of difference
of opinion between the commanders a
third person shall be selected to act as
umpire.
1t is proposed to give to fishing vessels
the same commercial privileges in Cana
dian ports as are enjoyed by other United
States vessels, including the purchase of
bait and supplies. All vessels now under
seizure for alleged violation of the fishery
law are to be released, and all fines exact
ed in such cases refunded. Great Britain
is asked to agree to the appointment of
joint commission to ascertain the amount
of damages caused to American fishermen
during the year 1886 by seizure and other
wise, said commission to make awards
therefor to the parties injured.

Gartleld,s statue In Place.


The bronze statue of Garfield, designed
by j. Q. a. Ward and cast by the Henry
Bonnard Bronze company of New York,
has been placed OH its pedestal at the foot
of Capitol Hill in Washington, and will be
unveiled on May IL. The statue is of
heroic size, ten feet six inches in height,
and weighs 5000 pounds. The granite
pedestal, which Is eighteen feet in height,
was paid for by the government, congress
having appropriated $4,000 therefor.
Workmen are busy upon the bronze orna-
ments and tablets which will adorn the
granite shaft, Immediately above the three
life-size symbolical figures in bronze, which
rest upon granite brackets near the base of
the pedestal. These three figures are i'm a
sitting or recumbent posture and repre-
sent the three types of manhood
depicted In Garfeld's career, viz, the
student, the warrior, the statesman,
The three tablets placed above these ideal
figures are in the form a shield on which
rest a planetary globe for the student, q
sword and trumpet for the warrior, and a
laurel wreath inclosing the scales of JUS
tice for the statesman. The shaft, which
is circular, is encircled by Topped bands Of
one leaves, alternated with buckeyes" In
bronze.
The inscriptions upon the granite shaft
are placed upon three sides, making a
new departure i'm this respect in monu-
ment art. They are as follows South

Assistant Secretary Maynard has in
structed customs officers to see that domes-
tic cigars exported for the purpose of be-
ing reimported, are not admitted to entry
under the provisions of section $500, but
to require them TO be turned over to the
collector of internal revenue for such pro-
cedure as may be found expedient under
the internal revenue law. This action Is
based on information that system exists
of sending cigars manufactured In San
Francisco to Victoria, Il. c., and then re-
turning them to San Francisco under the
provision of section $500 revised statutes.
They are then stamped with custom
stamps bearing the words domestic CT.
gars-reimported. A good market for
these cigars il found I'm st. Louis where
they are sold for imported cigars. Tho
purchasers see the import stamps but fail
to notice the inscription thereon.

Grants Old Servant Talks.

"When did Grant realize the fact OF
his approaching deathP'
at was at Dr. Douglass office. in
New York. He was alone with DR..
Douglas and myself. Grant had just
had an examination of his throat, and
he asked DIR. Douglas if he could assure
him that his trouble would no. develop
into cancer. Douglas told him that
he could not assure HIM of this fact, but
that he hoped he might be able TO cure
him. Gen. Grant then said: If you
think thus. De. Douglas. there is hope
for me- Soon after this Grants car
riage came and we went away. AS we
drove oil he told me not to say anything
to the family as 10 what DR.. Douglas
had said. Throughout his whole sick
ness Gen. Grants family never knew
how much pain he suffered From the
time of his sickness till his death, was
not two hours absent from him. Many
nights he would walk the floor all night.
When the family would ask him in the
morning how he had rested. he would
say, pretty wcll.' and would try to APP
pear cheerful. He had the most terrible
pain all tho time, and, don't think he
had moments cessation of pam dur
ing those last months. He felt greatly
relieved when he had finished his book
and his happiest days were those just
before his death. During his whole
sickness he never grew irritable or lost
his temp,r. He was the kindesi man
ever knew and he had great love for
his family. Mrs. Grant called him
Ulysses and she was very fond of him.

THE BASIS OF PEsTALOzzI's EDUCATION
AL METHOD

THE BASIS OF PEsTALozzI's EDUCATION
AL METHOD.
In outlining Pestalozzi's
thought, note the following points as
perhaps best expressing his method:
Education must be determined by the
nature Of that which is educated. Man
is law unto himself What he is die
tates the mode in which he shall be
trained. Mans powers are not the re-
suit of accident-they are his own in
terror, original possessions. They came
with him. Education, therefore, which
does not base itself upon a right under
standing of these integral human
powers, and of the nature which they
express, is not education-has no right
to the name or the claim. Pestalozzi,
by stating this truth, and by forcing it,
as it were, into the worlds conscious
ness, deserves lasting praise. Here is
the first step toward scientific treat
ment of education; it is not. in itself.
such treatment, does not even prove
such treatment possible-it is the point
of beginning, the corrective, the safe
guard. This truth is fundamental in
Pestalozzi's thought 1t found express
sion in 1.-THE Evening Hours of Her
nit" and Is repeated in every subse-
quent writing. Universal upbuilding
of the inner powers of human nature is
the universal aim of culture" Pesta-
lozzi's system. therefore, when self-con-
sistent, rests upon his Interpretation OF
human nature. Our reformer believed
man to have q threefold being. He
was body, mind and conscience. 1t is
q vital part of Pestalozzi's thought that
mans welfare depends upon good and
truth-obeying heart Here is place for
the religious element and we find Pes
talozzi speaking as follows: .sBelief in
God is the source of peace, peace is the
source of inward order; inward order
the source Of undisturbed application of
our powers, and this order becomes, in
turn, the source of their growth and
development of wisdom. Wisdom is the
source of all blessing" We have thus
far two essential factors in Pestalozzi's
thought: education Is determined by
the nature of the educated-man is
threefold, body, mind, and heart Pro-
ceeding a step further we inquire, What
precisely is it that this threefold being
requiresP Do body, mind, and con-
science unite in demanding for their
education single methodP Pestalozzi
answers yes, and affirms that the COM
mon, universal law, is development
To-day we theoretically recognize this
law, and admit its vital import in all
educational endeavor; practically we
too often ignore it. and proceed after
the old evil fashion of preparing the
mind for market as the animal is pre-
pared for saie.-Prof w. r. Benedict.

HOMEMADE APPARATUS.

Comparatively few schools possess
either extensive or expensive apparatus
for the teaching of physics. This is
especially true of grammar grades, into
which the study of physics is being in
troduced in most of the country towns.
Teaching physics without apparatus is
like the play of Hamlet. with Hamlet
left out But what is to be done when
there is .noneP The answer can be
given in two words, Make one. To
Illustrate:
Last winter found the writer in charge
of a grammar school in country town.
He was expected to teach physics with
the following apparatus: cupboard, a
spiritlamp, few bottles, some alcohol,
little sulphuric acid, and some glass
tubing Here was difficulty enough to
inspire any one. Only few of the ex-
pedients will be given, but they will
suffice to show how the obstacles were
overcome.
A pair of scales was wanted to Illus
trate specific gravity. Through the
center of a wooden bar about a foot
long was driven u brass wire. allowing
about balf-inch TO project on each
side. At the ends of the bar, and at
equal distances from this center pin, o
common picture eye was screwed in.
BY means of threads, the scale pans,
made of sardIne boxes, were suspended
from these eyes. A block of wood for
the base, and two upright standards on
which the center pin could rest, COM
pleted the scales. They were rude, to
be sure, but nevertheless they served TO
show the principles of specific gravity,
and with suitable weights the specific
gravity of substances could have been
roughly determined.
When the subject of electricity was
taken up. an electroscope was needed.
A horse-radish bottle and its cork fur
nished the basis of this. A rather stout
wire was run through the cork, the
lower end formed into loop, and the
upper end surmounted by bullet In
the loop was suspended strip of gold
foil, to be had at any sign-painter's.
Clutch leaf answers just as we'll, and
is much cheaper. The whole thing cost
about five cents. and was just as deli
cate and as good for the purpose OF class
demonstration as one costing three dol
lars at the nstrument-maker's.
With yard of insulated wire and o
board nail, an electromagnetic was made
that did good service.
Under my direction. the boys OF the
class constructed an electrophorous that
was decided success.
By the end of the term, we had sever
al pieces of apparatus, all of them home
made. They cost some ingenuity. some
labor, but very little money.-Arthar l..
keyes, tn Journal of Education.

WATER FOR STOCK IN WINTER.


A large proportion of the food of our
animals is used TO keep up the tempera-
ture of the body to about one hundred
degrees. Cold weather. damp barn
yards. cracks i'm the barn or sheds. want
of bedding and exposure to storms,
greatly increase the consumption of food
to no good purpose. Much more regard
is now paid to the comfort of our stock
in these respects than formerly. We
think, however. many tail To realize the
loss Of fool sustained by compelling
animals to drink ice-cold water. Wa
ter as il comes fresh from the well has
tempcra urc Of about tifty-fivo degrees.
When allowed to stand until frozen
over aud the ice then broken. and pieces
of leo suffered to remain in the water.
the temperature speedily falls TO thirty
five degrees. Experiments are reported
which seem 10 show that it pays to arti-
ticially warm the drinking water for
milch cows. Be this as il may, no one
can doubt that water at iifty-five de-
grees is cold enough for health. The
water that an animal drinks has TO be
raised 10 the temperature of its body,
say one hundred degrees. And, Of
course, ii requires mucn more fuel in
food to raise pailful of water from
thirty-five degrees to one hundred de-
grees than u pailful of fresh water from
tifty-five degrees to one hundred de-
grees. II the heat required to warm the
pailful of water twenty degrees was
derived from hay. or straw. or grain,
the loss would not in many cases be
severely felt. But. as matter of fact.
this heat is obtained from the consump-
ton of fat aud flesh. or butter aud
cheese. rnis is expensive fuel. We are
well aware that it is not always easy to
furnish animals water free from ice.
We fill the trough with water. and the
lows. and sheep. and horses 10 not
drink as much NJ we expected, and the
